The French Steakhouse Review

The dining room feels like a 1950s French country bistro -- cafe curtains and brick accents decorate the windows, hand-painted tiles border the walls, and gold wrought iron gives the Louis XV-inspired chairs a rustic flavor. The live piano music is mellow, the lighting dim. Start with the Caribbean seafood cocktail with marinated shrimp, scallops, mussels, and grilled salmon in a tequila fruit salsa, or mushroom caps stuffed with herb-flavored crab and grated Gouda. For the main event, carnivores can't resist the beef tenderloin churrasco with crispy fried onions, sautéed mushrooms, chimichurri sauce, and au-jus. The chef's favorite is the Punta Brabo sampler featuring a crab cake with pineapple mango salsa, chicken breast, and filet mignon with jalapeño Hollandaise and sage Pinot Grigio sauce. Ice cream crowns the apple strudel, a real treat with the strong and flavorful coffee. Value-conscious diners love the $35 Ambassador's Five-Course Dinner, or the early-bird three-course special for $23 before 7pm.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
